Bourbon

Named after the place where it first was manufactured, Bourbon is the American form of whiskey. The bourbon is made of corn (at least 51 percent), and other raw materials are wheat, rye, and malted barley. By law, it has to be stored in oak barrels for two years or more, to be called bourbon. The American whiskey is an excellent mixer, since it's not as dominant as Scotch ditto.
